Description
This is the most comprehensive publication yet produced by the United Nations on the topic of human settlements. It was prepared under the UN General Assembly's mandate to analyse world-wide and regional developments, trends, and prospects in the field of human settlements. The concept of human settlements is introduced as it has evolved from the inaugural Habitat conference in 1976 in Vancouver, and key policy issues are selected in the areas of national development, settlements management, institutions, and financing, land, infrastructure, construction technology, and shelter. The author illustrates the necessity of transition from normative and regulatory practices to enabling strategies, and presents the role of human settlements as both the objective and the instrument of development. A statistical annex is provided with 18 comprehensive tables on human settlements' data at the country level. Policy-makers in government, international organizations, or aid agencies; academics interested in settlement patterns.
